What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

At least then they'd know to put "bunny" in quotes.(Check out how the right one is looking at the label. Heehee!)

Somebody please tell me this is not a cross:

Although if it's not, then the alternatives are looking pretty alarming. Yowza.

Oh! Speaking of alarming religious cakes: I've yet to see a smoking lamb cake this year. I'm still holding out hope, though. And in the meantime, I did spot a few chocolate cigarettes on this "Easter flowers" design:

Sticks and stones may break my bones,but on a cake they sure alarm me.

The madness continues into the cookie section:

There are no words. Only lots of snickering.

And lastly, we have the gold standard of Easter designs:

The bug bunnies.

Jennifer T., Katie G., Steve, Taylor B., Teryn C., John M., & Shelli A., just tell them to take a left at Albuquerque. Oh, and watch out for those "sprinkles."

I was thinking that maybe the cigarettes on that dubious cigarette cake were because the recipient had given up smoking for lent, and with the arrival of easter would be able to once again indulge in a little bit of cancer inducing oral combustable based activity?

Cake#1. Pig, huh? HUH!#2. Looks kind of like a dust mite (I looked it up in a microscopic dictionary). It just needs to grow a few more legs, and lose the "caught-in-the-headlights" look, especially since dust mites have no eyes.#3. Again... HUH!#4. Okay, I'll tell you that "It's not a cross." But really, it is. A cross between a migraine and an acid trip.#5. Packaged display of what was just swept up out of the gutter. (Niiice.)Or possibly an employee *inside joke*. #6. Oh-oh, here it comes againnnnn: HUH.#7. This one is EASY! It's a hospital nursery! ("Oh, Mr. Bunny--come and see your 10 new daughters!")

OMG you crack me up every time. I don't know where you continue to find these crazy cake wrecks, but your comments and captions are sublime. I take my hat off to you, and I shoot coffee out of my nose all over my keyboard in your honor... Note to self: Don't try to drink coffee while reading this blog!

Oh thank you THANK YOU for the best laugh I've had all day. For realsies, those were some of the most atrocious things I've EVER seen! And most alarming, that lamb on the "cross", except that cross was slightly fallic. Ewww!

Oh I can't imagine why anyone would put bunnies on the faces of gingerbread men.. scary scary bakery that is. That second cake looked like it had been electrocuted and put on a shelf. Honestly if those cakes are the best they can do I suggest they give up and go back to whatever it is they were doing before ruining cakes lol.

Anonymous said..."@Ayla. never fear. the feathers are pink. nature does not produce pink birds..."******AHEM* I beg to differ, little missy (or mister, as the case may be), but what color do you perceive FLAMINGOS to be? My vote is for "pink."Granted, they only turn pink because of their diet (shrimps), but it's still ALL NATURAL. msyendpr said...Cake #2: first thought: special Hostess snowball cat created to hunt down the Peeps.*****Liking it! =^~.~^=

Cake 4: no, not a cross. Was it an Italian bakery? It looks very similar to our traditional Easter cakes: we actually call them "doves" because they (are supposed to) look like (very) stylized doves - try googling "colombe pasquali."

I didn't expect to jump. That pink "bunny" is frightening beyond belief. I mean, REALLY scary. Forget clowns, needles, and confined spaces, that thing will be in my nightmares for years to come. The only responsible thing for me to do is make a wrecckplica for my son. For all three of them. Hehe. Fear is slowly being replaced with evil intent...
